L-shaped hex key Wiha 01395

The Wiha 01395 L-shaped hex key is made from chrome-vanadium steel, through-hardened and chrome-plated for resistance and durability. It follows ISO 2936L standards and features a ball end that allows engagement at angles up to 25°. The tool has a long arm of 11.3 cm and a short arm of 2 cm, offering leverage and access to confined screw locations while remaining lightweight at approximately 5 g.

Advantages

Chrome-vanadium construction with through-hardening and chrome plating improves wear resistance and service life. The L-shaped design provides mechanical leverage, and the ball end permits angled operation up to 25°, which helps reach screws in tight or awkward positions. Compliance with ISO 2936L ensures consistent dimensions and fit with corresponding fasteners.

How to use

Select the appropriate hex key orientation for the screw head and insert the long or short arm as needed for leverage or clearance. For angled engagement, align the ball end with the screw and operate within the permitted 25° angle. Apply steady torque without exceeding the tool’s mechanical limits to avoid rounding the screw or damaging the key.

Recommendations

Keep the hex key clean and lightly lubricated to prevent corrosion on the chrome plating. Use the short arm for higher torque and the long arm for reach; avoid excessive force when using the ball end at large angles to preserve tip geometry.
